World Series of Poker Road Trip 2010

Friday, May 28th, 2010

It’s away from the the rainy west coast and out to the desert for The High Tide Travel Blog this June.

We’ll be heading south to the 41st Annual World Series of Poker 2010 in Vegas in June, both as spectators and players. This year’s field of amateurs and pros should be massive and I can’t wait to see my favorite pros in person (Chris Ferguson and Doyle Brunson are at the top of my list).

Since we’ve decided to drive the 21ish hours down rather than fly, I’ll be blogging and posting pictures about the trip along the way as my husband and I go on a good ol’ fashion long haul road trip in our Civic Hybrid – Vancouver Island to Vegas, or bust.

See you on the road.
